Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 29th August 2016: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch208

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 208

A place to discover music by new or overlooked artists. Not a place to bury music you don't like. Keep an open mind, try something new, and you will discover something great.

EP1 - 01 The Rut

Confidence is a Handshake

Am I only dreaming?
Can this be reality?
In the skies they’re moving
Wavering over my head

Even if the sun should rise
All I see within these eyes
Velvet clouds floating in line
Telling me that I’ll be fine

I can’t tell if it’s real
I just know what I’m feeling
Should I keep believing?
Never doubt what I’m seeing

If one day the sea should rise
I won’t swim, I would just fly
Velvet clouds will be my guide
Telling me that it’s alright

Everything will end in time
And I know that I should hide
Velvet clouds stay at my sight
Stay with me until it’s fine

Song Of The Day - @bestfitmusic - http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/song-of-the-day/the-slow-revolt-lean

'The Slow Revolt, has been previously hailed for his flawless contrasting of genres. His newest track “Lean” is another plunge pool into the enchanting sound of beautiful tranquility and lovely layers.

The consistent guitar melody opens the track into a misty landscape of morning dew and seaside freshness, complete with subtle bursts of distorted guitars and a building tension of unpredictable electronica percussion. Mirza’s enchanting vocals bounce beautifully across the layered melodies, building in each bar to a pinnacle of bubbling sounds, changing the scenery from an empty landscape to a busy crossroads of texturised sounds.

Whilst maintaining his soft vocals throughout, the instrumentals in “Lean” carry the textured tension, blending beautifully into a melodic chaos that seems both unnerving and utterly soothing at the same time.'

'Lean' is the first in a series of tracks; experiments, curiosities & versions, culled from ongoing writing sessions.

my mind has been empty from the moment you left me on a platform that sunday in the cold light of wembley and things felt calm even with empty arms i woke up to silence and the sweetest of violence and now i pass out without you to the wailings of sirens i stare at these walls wont you sleep on my floor and there's no way to fix this and there's no way i'll feel peace i get it every night now and you give me some release and maybe it's nothing but my ears are still ringing and i'm haunted by your name by you quietly singing i feel so much like a cymbal rush and you know how you scare me when you're eyes see right through me and without even trying you see all inside me and i came so close but i won't ever know and there's no way to fix this there's no way i'll feel peace i get it every night now and you give me some release 

i don't even know what it all means and i don't even know what you really think and could i ever make you happy could you think of me as more than just murder porn?
